FDA quietly buries the end of most vaccine mandates; why do blue cities encourage crime?; hoodied Fetterman returns to work, or something; markets bet against Taiwan; litigation and CRT; and more.
I would have to say that one of the BEST things to come out of the plandemic is that so many are now questioning and even rejecting ALL vax-es. Ya-hoo! It’s about time!

Aaron Siri (he has a substack) and team from Glimstad Lawfirm respresents The Highwire and law info and documents can be found at icandecide.org Jefferey Jaxson, their investigative journalist has a substack too. Del Bigtree burned, I mean debated, Neil Degrasse Tyson last week and you can rewatch.
It really was eye opening. He further proves that he believes in science as a religion. The consensus argument is very shallow and anti-science. What does he think the consensus is made up of?! It’s group think of the selected individuals and pharma funded products and protocols. If Degrasse is a peek into the mind of scientists today, no wonder we have failing healthcare and all time high chronic illness.
I laughed that the Degrasse would hide behind the “I’m not a medical doctor” every time Del had him dead to rights. Didn’t shut the astrophysicist up when he was bellowing about everyone’s “social responsibility” to take the unproven jabs. I wish Del had countered him with that.

Peter Breggin in his Covid-19 and the Global Predators book explains very clearly just how easy it is to corrupt a clinical trial, most of which are funded and sponsored by their big pharma manufacturers. No conflict of interest there!
Thank you for that info. His name is not as familiar to me as the other big names we all know, so I had to look him up. That book sounds like a must-have, not only for us but for our kids and grandkids to have as an accurate account of these dark times.
A piece of history gold. I don't even need to read it. I knew what they were up to since Ground Zero Warp Speed Day 1, lol, and because of Dr Breggin. I've been a follower of him for quite some time. He's just on of many of Our "Hippocratic Oath Heros'!"
Currently, in Canada, there is a National Citizens Inquiry with hearing taking place in cities all across the country. This is a non government sponsored inquiry with testimonies being given by private citizens, scientists, doctors, lawyers and public policy makers and its goal is to record what happened over the last three years with regard to the CoVid 19 pandemic and strategies that were used. All of the hearings are being recorded and are available to view on Rumble.
One of the testimonies was given by a former member of the media who used to be in fairly high positions at the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. His testimony involved showing how the CBC can rightly be called government funded propaganda and gave a well researched description of how many times the CBC actually flat out lied or used various strategies to obfuscate the truth and were derelict in their responsibility to actually report news. I highly recommend viewing this testimony.
Definitely me as well. I'd say I'm also almost completely anti-medical establishment at this point. I've had reasons to doubt before the last 3 years, but COVID was the timber that broke the camel's back.
We have been self treating most common ailments and ignoring medical recommendation tests for 30+ years. Some things like broken bones can't be ignored but many cuts, illnesses, bp, cholesterol, etc are treatable with over the counter available or diet changes. Not easy but better than pills. Learn and help others.
Especially once you have learned the latest science on cholesterol etc and you learn that the higher the cholesterol, the longer you’ll live, and that cholesterol is an important antioxidant for humans!
There is an inverse relationship between LDL-C levels and the risk of all-cause mortality, and this association is statistically significant.
The cholesterol scam is the second biggest lie sold by the medical establishment (second to COVID jabs). If you haven’t read the book, The Clot Thickens, I highly recommend it.
I second this recommendation. Great book! And to round out any medical skepticism, read the book Dopesick and appreciate the level of evil we are dealing with in Big Pharma.
Years ago my naturopath told me my cholesterol was too low. He said there were links between low cholesterol and alz. Just great. Same with my mom, and she’s 89 and only now beginning to act a little off, but I actually blame the shots for that. Anyway, I try to increase my levels, it doesn’t work!
How has humanity survived for millennia without a pill for every ill? Sheesh.

Was once offered a med by a cardiologist. When I asked a pertinent question about why in relation to what he was “treating” and then said, Thanks but no thanks, his reply was, “That’s what I’d say!” Imagine how many just docilely take the offered med and the doctor says nothing. $$$ anyone? Plus, once he admitted his personal reflection, obvious CYA. Wake up call over 30y ago.

I suspect the wisdom of your body has it all over their “normals”. I suspect your body is producing and incorporating the right amount of dietary cholesterol for your lifelong visit to the planet, however long or short. No offense or fearmongering intended. ‘Cos very few of us know our exit point well ahead of time. Me, heck, could be later today, who knows? Nobody promised me tomorrow and all that. Existential stuff. I know, on the taboo list. That’s me, the heterodox, crossing the line. Two arguments:

If you’re worried about getting old, remember many aren’t afforded the privilege.
My 1st child and her cousin are days apart in age. When they were infants, I used natural remedies when my child got what was probably RSV while they rushed their little one to the E.R. for no worse symptoms and spent a miserable traumatic night there. I was really struck then by what a different philosophy it was because I was new to natural approaches and I saw how much gentler it was for a baby and how empowering it was for parents.
Don't forget about herbal remedies! Before there were pharmaceuticals, healers used herbs, because they work! My husband's chronic lyme is successfully managed with homemade herbal tinctures. Stephen Buhner's books are a great place to start.
I had a vision a while back, that the herbal medicine market exploded. And now that a lot more people are waking up to the big pharma fraud, I believe it will explode in demand relatively soon. Possibly that is one reason the globalist dictator wanna-be's want so badly, to destroy our environment. So we have no true source of healing.
This is true. That's why they are pushing legislation to get OTC vitamins and supplements banned, available by RX only or at least FDA "regulated". Thank Dick Durbin (D-IL). He's been pushing this for years but now he's getting closer and closer.
Oh superb vision! Love it! Thank you for committing it to text. Now that it’s shared > more minds can give thought and consideration to it > it builds more energy toward the thing > which is ultimately how things manifest. And while we’re at it, let’s think about deaths and injuries from medication error vs from nature-derived remedies. Heck, there’s probably no research on the latter it’s so rare. But don’t quote me. The backlash against efforts to suppress natural healing will put all sorts of its benefits in the spotlight. Yet another flick to the brain of another contingent of the sleeping. Ugh this awakening is so agonizingly slow. Aaaaand I’m off on a tanget. Okie doke, time to get off this lil’ pony. ☺️
It infuriates me that Lymes Disease should be studied like HIV was, and that so many get sick from it just by being outdoors! If it were woke or sexual there would be some kind of cure by now. I find it much scarier than covid. 🙄
I read this book (Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease & Biological Weapons by Kris Newby) after a family member was diagnosed with lyme & other "co-infections" and it's clearer than ever that we have been blinded by our public "health officials" for a very long time...........
Well, any "cure" would be an expensive pHarmaceutical or injectable product.
There are herbs that can treat it effectively. The problems are (1) diagnosis and (2) awareness and knowledge of how to treat naturally and (3) access to practitioners who have this awareness.
Richo Cech is a great resource for growing and using herbs for healing. He has written several books and sells seeds and plants. Strictly Medicinal Seeds is his company. It’s out of Oregon.
You better believe it! After CONvid, and two necessary surgeries, I’m questioning EVERYTHING! The natural and safe cures have been mostly hidden from all of us! As much as I despise technology, for eye opening information, it can’t be ignored!
I resisted cholesterol and blood pressure meds all my life (75 yrs). My doc for the last 5 years recently asked what cholesterol med I was on. None, I replied. She was amazed my blood work was so good and blood pressure is excellent. Vitamins, exercise and prayer.
I know. At age 60 I went to have a small elective surgery. The staff at the hospital couldn't believe I wasn't on any meds, had no replacements of any kind and was in excellent health. I felt like a unicorn 🦄. Like you have heard of them but never thought you would see one. I left there pretty pleased with myself. 😄
At 62, I am on nothing as well...BUT had to have a hip replacement at 60, genetics and my line of work. Anyway, I’m on a mission to restructure my diet...not the best 🤦🏻♀️ but I’m making it a priority.
I call it divine intervention when I heard two things on the same talk radio show back in the mid 80s.

Anyway, senior life med free and only natural supplement supported is delightful! Let me offer an ‘Atta girl! on your efforts. You can do it! 💪🖖👍
I have always exercised daily (since I was in my 20s because my father had a major heart attack at 45, eaten at home, cooked whole food meals, eaten tons of fruits and veggies and olive oil, pray daily, keep my weight down because of very high familialhypercholesterolimia)..but sometimes you are damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I now have, at 65, osteoporosis..doctor said thinner women get it more. I think of all the years I avoided too much meat, eggs and too much dairy *because of my high cholesterol*and also keeping thin because ofbmy health, and now paying the price a bit. I am not taking deplorable pharmaceuticals for bone! They have horrible side effects. Have looked into natural help..algae calcium with k and d3 and boron, collagen peptides and believe it or not: prunes! (research it)
I also upped my cheese which I enjoy. Crossing my fingers.
Please don’t label yourself with osteoporosis like I did at your age. Osteoporosis is a WHO-created disorder with definitions and limits literally made up by self-serving special interests. These people all benefited from the new big pharma meds and bone density measurement machines. Doctors, hospitals, advertisers and many others also benefit from the new racket in scaring older women about broken bones. Basically, they’re comparing your bones at age 65 with those of a woman aged 30, finding them deficient, and now you get a scary label and so you’ll want to do anything the doctor has planned for you! Guess what - my skin at age 71 is not as tight as a 30-year-old woman. Should I now be diagnosed with “dermatolosis” or something scary-sounding so I buy their drugs? Back at age 56 I still trusted doctors and “the science”, so I took their drugs and all they did for me is I ended up with psoriasis and my hair falling by the handful, especially with Prolia. I quit all that and instead went out walking, lifted weights, took sun and vitamin D3, never drank sodas, and ate real food, staying away from processed junk. My doctor never recommended any of that! But I’m healthier now and I’ll never take another bone scam - excuse me, I mean bone scan.
Thank you. I rejected dexa scans for 10 years now, but a stress fracture in my foot and a sunbsequent frail feeling in my feet scared me into taking it. Atleast it has woken me up to supplemting properly and eating more calcium and protein. Again, thank you for your post. *hugs*
I took my son to the dentist last year and one part of the intake form asked if he had been on any “ fosamax” type drugs. These were the rage in the ‘80’s and my mom took fosamax for osteoporosis. At some point they found out that it was necrotizing to jaw bones. It takes years for side effects to come out.
Just read about the 1994 rolling out of the dexascan machine that measures your bone density. It seems everyone’s scan is compared to the scan of a 35 year-old woman. Also that the interior of our bones are supposed to be spongy and not filled in and solid which is what the fosamax type meds do. It fills them in and makes them brittle and that is why the dentist needs to know if you are taking them. Also why some women experience a break in their femurs while just walking. Can’t pull up the site just now. Also I’ve read that Jarlsburg Swiss Cheese is excellent for our bones.
Good facebook group: Osteoporosis Natural Remedies. They recommend a different type of test besides the DEXA - it is called REMS Echo Light. Only available in a few areas of the U.S. (and some other countries). Also, you need to use the exact same machine for a re-check as the machines are not always calibrated to one another so the followup scans from a different machine are pretty meaningless.
This is a great recommendation to pursue an Echolight scan. I had my first DEXA scan 1/21 at age 65. It showed slight Osteoporosis & Osteopenia. I am a retired Dental Hygienist, so am very familiar with the “con” side of Fosomax, often asking patients to reconsider and further discuss their Physician’s recommendation to take this RX.
My Physician was telling me, “it would probably be a good idea to start taking Fosomax. I did more research & the DEXA scan only measures bone density, not the strength of the bone.
My Echolight scan (which does not expose you towards any radiation like the DEXA scan does), showed only slight Osteopenia and indicated a vey low risk of hip fracture. It evaluates your bone density & strength. DEXA scans are still the “gold standard” but reconsideration for utilizing the Echolight technology and results are starting to gain acceptance. There are many Rheumatologists who specialize in Arthritis & Osteoporosis using Echolight scans to evaluate bone fragility. I traveled to Braxos, TX to have my Echolight Scan. I believe this is as far West as you are able to schedule a scan.There are Drs in the East who provide this service! Research before jumping!
Thanks. I somewhat suspected this. I stopped taking rock calcium and found algae calcium. I told my cardiologists why, since there had been talk about it being bad for the arteries in the media a few years back. He sarcastically said that if that the case, the media would scream about it.
Cheryl, same here except that my health regimen failed in regard to my knees. I tried everything and finally succumbed to surgery on both. I hated it, but I don’t regret it because I can walk without pain now. At the hospital they treated me like I was some weird anomaly, not on any medication except thyroid. The only thing I’d add to your list of vitamins, exercise and prayer, is diet. The kind of diet recommended by the medical establishment is awful. Their views on red meat and fats in particular. High quality grass fed meat is an important source of so many nutrients, and the same with “good fats”, with sugars being the main culprit.
I love when they say you don't need supplements. You get everything from your diet. Then they write out some prescriptions for meds you need to take. 🤪
Yes, and most of us have figured out the dirty little secret, which is that they don’t make any $$ or kickbacks from the supplements like they do on the meds.
Knee problems seem endemic these days. I know so many people in their 60’s and 70’s who have had to get knee replacements. Some are related to old sports injuries or accidents. But many are not. I wonder why so many are having problems. And is it this way in other countries? I think not.
Could it be the American extremism for exercise? Jogging? It is terrible for the anatomy and for women even more- bad for the pelvic floor.
I lived in Europe. They are not fanatics like us. They walk in their daily routine..everywhere they can, in their regular clothing and shoes. In some countries and cities, men bicycle to work dressed up! I love how adorable that looked! ❤️
I desperately need new knees, but have lymphedema and am concerned. I know a few who have had a really rough go after replacement, but I am so tired of the pain! Getting anywhere near a scalpel is just terrifying as I have had six abdominal surgeries requiring two wound vacs all due to doc errors!
I had to have both knees replaced due to congenital sublux knee caps, one 15 yrs ago, the other 11 yrs ago. Ran 12 miles a day for years. Worked out. Stayed semi-healthy despite the pain. My knees were bone on bone for too long. My first surgeon came to my hospital room after surgery to tell me how stunned he was that I withstood such a pain level... I have zero regrets! I hear so many folks talking about enduring the pain... It is not worth it! I was up and walking 6 hours after both surgeries! Great rehab PT. I was teaching Sunday school at 2 weeks post op, on my feet! No crutches, no walker, no cane. It's amazing!
Good point. Hmm. My guess is diet and activity. I didn't know of any one growing up with knee replacements etc. Not saying they didn't have aches or pains. But those were elderly people 80s on up. Now people in their 50s are getting knees replaced.
I attribute my bad knees to heredity, my mother had terrible arthritis and had to have hers replaced. I’ve maintained a normal weight and eaten way healthier than average for most of my adult life. I always walked for exercise, so no extremes there as the cause.
This is an Amish farmer in Live oak Florida that delivers all over central Florida, I believe down to Tampa and Orlando!
In Belleview area near I-75 exit 341 you can find O’Steen’s produce market where they sell local raw A2/A2 cow and raw goat milk too I hope you all can get some! It’s great stuff!
The typical protein in American dairy is A1. But ancestral dairy cows such as Jersey and Gurnsey produce A2 casein which is better tolerated by most. Goat’s milk, sheep milk, camel milk, even human milk is A2 casein.
But A1 is cheaper to produce and unfortunately what is most widely used in America.
You can get raw milk (for “pet” consumption) in FL.
It's a huge scam. And the biggest part of it is the pharmaceutical industry.
They've got almost an entire population inured to regular "checkups" (read: profit boosters) so that they can see if there are any more Rx's they can add to your already long list.
Totally agree. In the movie, “Mystery Men”, the most popular super hero, Captain Amazing, played by Greg Kinnear, got all sorts of endorsements by sponsoring companies and wore patches on his costume advertising the companies. Doctors should be upfront with their sponsors.
I need someone else to determine whether or not I’m well?

Heterodoxy has me thinkin crazy things. Like, when my number’s up, its up. Time to go. Having family members exit in their infancy, 20s and 50s will do that for ya. It’s a short trip even if you break 100. I mean, if we’re talking about eternity...
The students who went to medical school got straight A's. You don't get straight A's by questioning things; you get straight A's by being good at following directions. When the pharmaceutical industry tries to influence their protocols, the doctors go right along with it.
Most MD's of the last 30+ yrs! Not all, most though. Medical School is now extremely inclusive. Grades and course requirements have been drastically lowered for minority students of most colors. Learning is rarely from books, it's now what's on the internet... (acceptable govt/ big pHARMa information), err... I mean, indoctrination. They don't learn the complexity of the individual body. It's all about the "average" person... Forget lab values for male and female, it's all one and done garbage... If you ain't woke when you start medical school they'll break you down trying. And I say all of this very humbly... two physicians from this home. One age 70. The other age 34. Huge difference. "We were taught the unique individuality of each patient. The younger docs claim they "know so much more..." They couldn't find their way out of a paper sack if their life depended on it! And forget complex medical problems... it's all about rushing through, while missing the elephant in the room. They're all max vaxed and practicing medicine via the govt controlled narrative that requires no brain power, just an ability to do what they're told via their ipads." It's a train wreck barreling down the tracks...
Fortunately, my husband is also disillusioned, though not to the extent that I am. It's hard to think that so much of what you've learned and espoused in your practice of 35 years has been a lie. Nothing but the pandemic and the "vaccine" disaster could have done that.
There is a great book that came out a couple of months ago called, The Deep State Encyclopedia, by "reallygraceful". In it, there is a great explanation of how the medical field became the medical industrial complex through the Rockefeller family. They basically changed the model to a for-profit model and they quickly changed everything, beginning with medical school education. This began in the late 30's. Up until that time, traditional healing therapies such as homeopathy, herbs and non-invasive measures were the norm for doctors. Bottom line: the medical industry doesn't make money on healthy, healed people. It is set up to keep customers ---for life.
Joh Rockefeller’s father was literally a SNAKE OIL SALESMAN! From history.com:
“His father was a con artist and a bigamist.
The tycoon’s father, William Avery Rockefeller, was a traveling snake-oil salesman who posed as a deaf-mute peddler and hawked miracle drugs and herbal remedies. The smooth-talking huckster dubbed “Devil Bill” alternately fathered children—including the future industrialist—with his wife and mistress, the couple’s live-in housekeeper. The itinerant William Rockefeller also lived a double life posing as an eye-and-ear specialist named Dr. William Levingston, and in 1855 he secretly married another woman”
Yes. It’s also an interesting read to learn about the vilification of cannabis - which was used successfully as medicine until 3 money-making perps - Rockefeller, Anslinger, Hearst turned the public away with their lies and a new racist term for it called “marijuana” and the making of the movie “Reefer Madness.” Such a helpful, God-given herb (when used properly) kicked out of the way so that pharma could profit. Most of us are still brainwashed against it now.
Doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals kill hundreds of thousands of people yearly, yet no one bats an eye. You would have to consume 1500 pounds of cannabis in one sitting for it to kill you, and it probably still wouldn’t. The biggest side effects: giggling and a sense of calm.
As a child of the 60s I got a tail end taste of true diagnostician doctors. Those who could try to heal without all our fancy tests. My grandparents doctor who was their age, so he probably studied in the 20s or 30s..no overhead-' his wife was the receptionist and nurse. His office was in his house. I was about 11 and had what seemed to be a bladder infection. He asked if I drank a lot of orange juice. I responded yes, wondering how he knew. He said to stop it and it would go away. Sure enough...
And there’s Dr Mercola being so censored and maligned! He was right all along! I do believe there will be many docs who will question the Rockefeller AMA and pharma. I hope those who question go back and learn natural medicine! Frequency and herbs are the future! We are a unique system, not a bunch of specialities!
I changed toothpaste from commercial fluoride ones to natural non fluoride. Teeth are so clean and lots less tarter build up. Also natural colloidal mouthwash and "chewing oil" a natural oil mixture, once a week, all helps. Gums. Teeth. Everything is better. 👍
Swishing coconut oil for a few minutes (and spitting it out into the trash after so it doesn’t clog the pipes) has been very helpful for me. It removes stains and has an antibacterial effect so keeps gums healthy.
I am 100% anti western medicine. Unless I break a bone, I'll pass on the lot of it. I didn't believe in it when I was young and the last 3 years have enshrined my mistrust forever.
Anti-Vaxxer: a person who once trusted the government, and has decided those days are in the rear-view mirror; who once received all "good for you" vaccinations, however now wouldn't roll up a sleeve unless at gunpoint.
And I am not sure that even gunpoint would do it, based on what I have read about those suffering adverse effects (and have had a few myself over the decades). I am pretty sure where I am headed once my life is ended. I am not sure where my life would be headed if I accepted any vax. Turtles book arrived last week; eye-opening.
We need a fully alternative medical system. I've been looking for some people who would start this up so as to get involved and help pay/support such efforts.
Functional medicine is the only way I'll go. Still have to be careful since not all functional doctors are equal but the good news is there are some really great ones out there and I've noticed lately they are becoming more & more popular.
Our son in law went to the ER here in N. GA with a-fib last weekend. He had to go under anesthesia for a cardioversion to stop the arrhythmia. His wife asked the anesthetist if there was a blood bank for unvaxed blood as they are not vaxed. His reply was no, but one is def needed. I think the med system knows very well what is going on but they are hog tied to speak up. His procedure went well btw.
frontline doctors, myfreedoctor.com , dissidentdoctors.com . There is a growing number of networks that operate in a similar manner as health shares (usually Christian-based, insurance-like organizations). They are membership based, and you pay according to the level of care that you would like to receive. They function on more of a wellness model as opposed to a sick care model.
We need to rally together to support these efforts on a local community level.
I've been a member of the Christian Healthcare Sharing Ministry. They send out a news letter. There has never been one single peep about the V in any of the newsletters.
We used myfreedoctors.com 3x with covid and they were great.Sent the taboo rx's to a local compound pharmacy and we were better in a few days. Totally voluntary fees, you pay what you can. In our case it was all done online with symptoms we gave. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.
Looking into this for several months, yesterday I made an appt with a functional (integrative? which buzz word?) doctor in my area. 1st appt would run 90 min for $650. After that, 1 hr is $250, half hour $150, 15 min $100. I thought, well, I could try it. Phone person said masks required. She took my credit card to retain the appt after I had made sure that appt was cancellable with full refund. Then sent me an e-mail with link to questionnaire. E-mail specified that masks must be worn at all ALL times in office, must firmly fit over nose, should be N-95, should not have widgetty things on side......I was actually trying to find a practice that did not mask (as my take is, if you think masks do any good, you are not good for my health)--so I called back and told her that after reading the e-mail I realized this was not the direction in which I wanted to go, and cancelled. (Dr. Joseph Carchedi) 3 other holistic/naturopath whatevers in locale offer a free 15 minute first consultation. ????
Really anywhere. At the start of the scamdemic, as we were fearing losing our jobs, having our accounts turned off and our Banks frozen... we were looking in an Alternative System using blockchains and crypto for payment systems and with farmers, physicians, and other professionals being organized to serve the 'deplatformed patriot community'. But the Jabs fizzled pretty fast and we got close to normal so quickly that most of this is now a back burner concept. I wish we could get back to setting this 'alternative system' up.
I agree! We absolutely need an alternative system! There was rumor some time ago that some docs in my area (NE Ohio) were looking at creating an alternative hospital at one that closed in Massillon (Doctor's Hospital). Last I heard, they tore it down, although I should take a drive to see for myself. The TPTB can't have such a thing like that going on. Just like tearing down old schools so that charter schools can't move in.
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is near me. She is currently promoting her ECP clinics, but I hope at some point, she might help in this effort.
Check out Dr Shawn Baker and his company REVERO. He’s a former AIrForce Orthopedic Surgeon and a big proponent of the animal meat based diet, which is healing many “incurable” illnesses with red meat.
Here’s one study that debunks the high cholesterol myth
Lack of an association or an inverse association between low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and mortality in the elderly: a systematic review
Thank you! I've printed this out to give to my husband. I see that Dr. Aseem Malhotra is one of the authors. His PCP keeps bugging him about going back on a statin (I was successful in getting him to go off of them). On another note, he asked his PCP if they were pushing boosters. He said, "no, we are no longer doing that, but that's another conversation". They DID NOT have that other conversation. :(
My husband 'was put' on statins long ago--15?20? years. I checked for info, got him not to take them.
Have to confess that the practice we go to now (had to change from our previous, where we'd been for 42 years) bc going on medicare---in 3 or 4 visits I have made over 20 months (and seeing only PA's, never a 'doctor') always asked if I had taken vax but never suggested it. Yet their sign on door required masks 'as required by law' (don't think Pa had such a law).
I’m in Florida and I’m looking for a naturopath or integrative doctor for my daughter. Her health has slowly declined for the last 5 years to the point that she cannot walk without a walker. She’s 28! She’s seen more than 10 doctors in the last few years and they run tests and say she’s fine. If anyone knows of some alternative medical care I would greatly appreciate it!
I am in the Florida Panhandle and I work with a fantastic functional doctor. Dr Melanie Joy. She's all virtual. She might have a waiting list but she's worth it. Hope that helps you.
Where about in FL? You should follow, "The Natural Health Library" on FB. https://www.facebook.com/groups/612308275622725 They also have a separate website under the same name and have been a great resource for natural rememdies.

I had a lot of pressure back in the early 2000's to vax my firstborn, I held strong to not vax through that child and my others. Hubby was initially onboard only until they hit 3 y.o., but I kept providing more and more evidence that he agreed with me. We're almost anti-medication these days. Only take what is absolutely needed, otherwise we don't want it. That stuff messes with your body to where you need a drug for the side effects from the first one, then another to combat the side effects which gives you more side effects, so on and so forth. It's a money pit.
You are a warrior Laura. God bless you. If only parents would educate themselves on this vital topic. Sadly, they spend more time decorating their baby's nursery.
It's confounding, isn't it. I think one of the biggest issues is that parents implicitly trust their pediatricians who are all indoctrinated and motivated by money. That trust could prove fatal.
From personal experience (13 years ago)... vaccine skepticism wasn’t as accepted or available until social media and the internet allowed access to more information. We’ve seen censorship in recent years, but my child’s declining health post vaccine paired with access to data proving vaccines were harmful was what eventually convinced me that the vaccines were harmful. When I started researching vaccine approvals and how many were added to the schedule in recent years, I was very vaccine hesitant. I started giving this information to my doctor (who had a chronically ill child himself) and he rejected any discussion out of hand. The knee-jerk refusal for any opposing idea was a red flag, but I thought that maybe he was just busy. But then he’d dive into a discussion on why all vaccines are safe - because he’s never seen an adverse reaction and we’ve been using vaccines for decades. I was shocked that this was his best argument. But, of course, this was after we already had several doses of vaccines administered and it’s simply not something new parents are prepared for. I personally think it’s preying on vulnerable mothers to blindside them during this groggy, hormone adjusting, life-changing time. There is more information out there now and I hope young parents review the pro’s and con’s of vaccines. But I think reaching new parents before the hospital delivery is really important. Otherwise, they won’t have informed consent as most offices administrator the shots and then hand you the info sheet after and deny, deny, deny any adverse event. Maybe a bill on informed consent for new mothers.
I've been a vaccine skeptic since about 1985, when a friend's beautiful, normal, vibrant baby was turned into a near vegetable by a DPT shot. That baby is nearly 40, unable to feed herself or talk, unable to walk, needing 24/7 care. A wasted life for sure. Her parents got a settlement from a big class action lawsuit in the late 1980's, the vax makers claimed it was due to bad batches.
I never had any inkling that I ought to ask what was in the childhood vackzines. None whatsoever. And when the subject ever arose, I naively accepted the explanations that the amount of x, y, or z that was in them was less than what is naturally ingested, etc. Never considered that the vackzines were delivering the substance by an unnatural route, or at cumulatively higher amounts than is naturally ingested. I was so naive.
Parents, in fact all of us, have been so trained over the last hundred years to trust the doctors and to question our own selves, our capacity for healing ourselves, for figuring out what is wrong with ourselves, and so on. THIS is the problem, and not only with health but also with education, with the environment, with government.
One of my 9th grade students remarked (how that matter ever came up I do not remember) that of course parents need to know sex of baby before birth--else how can they decorate the nursery?
For sure. But think what that in-class comment said about his parents' attitudes. I do not think that 9th grade (maybe it was 8th grade, had to be one or the other) devote any time to thinking about this topic.
Parents don't know to be skeptical. Most of us were vackzed as kids without repercussions, at least that we know of. Pediatricians go into peds because they care about kids; the vast majority of them are oblivious about the harms of what they are doing - I mean, the ones who are younger than 40-50 don't likely remember a childhood when "quirky" kids were NOT common in school. Autoimmune, autism, sensory disintegration, learning problems are so normalized that it is the rare pediatrician who pauses to wonder why the explosion over the last generation. Plus, everyone wants to blame the environment and BPA and TV and the like. While those do play important roles, the focus on them allows everyone to continue overlooking the mandated toxins of childhood vackzines.
Parents simply don't know what they don't know. I sure didn't.
A week ago Dr Jen was on that mid-day show that was created during covid, and reported about pregnant people who had covid while pregnant and the babies were born with brain damage. One died. She made a point to say clearly ‘we don’t know the vax status’ BUT that every pregnant person should get the jab, for sure, get the jab.
(Disclaimer, I can’t remember if she said person or woman) but so what, she got her dangerous message on the air once again. 🤬 These people are stupid and evil.
My son died from his DPT shot 30 years ago today. I can honestly say I've been an anti-vaxxer for 30 years!
I'm heart-sick about all the people maimed and killed over the last three years from this poison the government forced people to put into their bodies. If there's any silver lining though, it's that the numerous issues with vaccines, VAERS and the Vaccine Injury Act have forced themselves to the fore. Maybe something good can come from all this evil.
Internist YESTERDAY once again pushed the jab. He agreed it was obsolete buuut studies show it is "effective". So ignorant, incompetent, malevolent or on the take?
I would've asked "Effective at what?" Doesn't stop you from getting covid, transmitting covid, doesn't lessen symptoms and does not prevent death. In fact, you're more likely to get covid after being jabbed and or dying/being maimed for life. The data is clear!
I now trust nothing from the medical establishment/Big Pharma and nothing from any government (national, state, local). Quite literally nothing. I have become, over the past 3+ years, anti-many things, including (surprisingly to me) vaxxes.
I have also become in some ways pro-RFK Jr, which a decade ago would've made my to-the-Right-of-Attila the Hun head explode.
I found myself waking up this morning with psalm 68 on my lips.."May God arise, may his enemies be scattered"! It's another Psalm of victory and great joy for Gods people. Thanks so much for the reminder of Jeremiah and Psalm 17
Janice - have you seen the movie Nefarious yet? If not, please do - you'll love it. I've already watched it twice and am considering inviting my entire parish to go see it with me again.
Powerful reminder of who is behind the violence and insanity of this world.
I have tickets for tonight with my adult daughter. I hope everyone supports this effort and goes to see the movie so we can get more, “good” faith-based movies made/produced.
It’s Wednesday. Go outside and get some vitamin D, turn OFF the news, and appreciate everything you have in your life💜. All the bad news will be there tomorrow.
The only thing I want to see from the FDA and CDC is this announcement: Due to our everlasting fraud and corruption, we have been forced to re-access our value to the public and have determined our existence is no longer valuable to anyone. Therefore as of midnight tonight, we are closing forever. Thank you for all your decades of believing in our fraud and propaganda.
Public schools are evil; they cannot be reformed. In the US, public education caught on as a way to eliminate Catholicism; public schools will always & everywhere be about suppressing dissent because that's why they were created - not to educate, but too indoctrinate. Abolish public ed through school choice. Look, if you give your kids to Caesar, don't be surprised when they come back to you as Romans. You can't put them in public schools for 40 hours a week & think your parenting is going to reverse what happened there. If you want dissent, if you want liberty, you must abolish public education. (If parents want to choose it, then so be it - I'm all for freedom, but let them have a choice.)
Yep, there was no pushback whatsoever. Our private school is connected to a church. Woke has seeped into the church and into the school. They don’t speak up on much at all. There has been at least one child from each of our children’s grades who have “transitioned” after graduating. This shouldn’t be happening. But if the church and the school don’t speak up, society will.
Recently heard someone in my parish explain that the churches HAD to go along because they accepted PPP money. Had to pay the piper 😒 Gives “follow the money” a whole new (and sickening) meaning.
☹️ they were just consumed with fear, stoked by the government and the media (but I repeat myself). Sadly, they completely missed Jesus’s exhortation to “be not afraid.”
If the church is a 501c3, they CAN NOT speak against the government narrative! Can't speak against abortion, homosexuality, trans, talk politics, etc. Losing their parishioners tax-exempt status and fines of $10k, even against church board members.
I can attest that private schools have gotten at least as bad. This all originated at Georgetown Prep when Justice Ketanji Brown was on the board! Boom.
Back in the 90's when our three youngest girls were in private school their "anthem" was, "God Bless the USA." They started the day reciting the Pledge and singing the National Anthem. They do neither now. No school "anthem" either. The music program between Thanksgiving and Christmas was devoid of any holiday songs. Just sad. Just really sad to see.
Agreed. The private school we started at, held a CRT event during CHAPEL in 2021, had the black kids in school go on stage and tell their story. IDK, I thought chapel was a time to worship and learn about the Bible, not pander to select groups. Fortunately, my kids weren't there when that happened, we had moved to homeschool by then.
My 12 year old nephew told me that at the beginning of his public, sixth grade, students had to write their preferred pronouns in every class. He tried to leave it blank because he felt it should be obvious. The teacher told him that it is required and not a suggestion. I cannot seem to convince his parents to get him out of there.
I homeschool my fourth grade daughter and grateful for the opportunity to help her grow academically and in her faith, love for Christ.
Public schools are teaching kids about how to follow the spirit of the anti-Christ. Every Christian should pray and rescue their kids out of that cult ASAP. It’s not an easy option but anything we do that is worthwhile is difficult!
“I’m probably ANTI VACCINE at this point”
Yeah, me too Jeff. But I’ll leave out the “probably”
I would have to say that one of the BEST things to come out of the plandemic is that so many are now questioning and even rejecting ALL vax-es. Ya-hoo! It’s about time!
The Highwire does a great job of explaining about covid and lots of other questionable vaccine studies: https://thehighwire.com/editorial/why-covid-vaccine-trials-should-alarm-everyone/
Thehighwire.com every Thurs at noon mountain standard time USA. Can watch on your own anytime. All links to factual data presented sent to your email address on the following Monday. Aaron Siri (he has a substack) and team from Glimstad Lawfirm respresents The Highwire and law info and documents can be found at icandecide.org Jefferey Jaxson, their investigative journalist has a substack too. Del Bigtree burned, I mean debated, Neil Degrasse Tyson last week and you can rewatch.
Neil Degrasse 🤦🏻♀️I’m truly starting to question ANYTHING he says or has said because of how stupid he sounds in any COVID conversation.
It really was eye opening. He further proves that he believes in science as a religion. The consensus argument is very shallow and anti-science. What does he think the consensus is made up of?! It’s group think of the selected individuals and pharma funded products and protocols. If Degrasse is a peek into the mind of scientists today, no wonder we have failing healthcare and all time high chronic illness.
"Scientific consensus" is an oxymoron; full stop. And Degrasse is just a moron.
Gigi G, Neil is a total shill. And an idiot to boot.
I don't trust him or his vests......
He's an astrophysicist, not a virologist or immunologist. 'Doctor' moniker does not mean 'medical'.
I laughed that the Degrasse would hide behind the “I’m not a medical doctor” every time Del had him dead to rights. Didn’t shut the astrophysicist up when he was bellowing about everyone’s “social responsibility” to take the unproven jabs. I wish Del had countered him with that.
The "expert's" seem to live in a box.
I really doubt his authenticity as an astrophysicist. He's an actor at best.
YES, absolutely YES. C&C is read daily and The Highwire is watched weekly in our household. Both can be tagged Not Subject to Approval by Any Government and Corporate Sponsor Free.
Peter Breggin in his Covid-19 and the Global Predators book explains very clearly just how easy it is to corrupt a clinical trial, most of which are funded and sponsored by their big pharma manufacturers. No conflict of interest there!
Thank you for that info. His name is not as familiar to me as the other big names we all know, so I had to look him up. That book sounds like a must-have, not only for us but for our kids and grandkids to have as an accurate account of these dark times.
Peter and Ginger Breggin exposé “we are the prey” 🎯🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It was the very 1st hard copy book I order even before Dr. Breggin released it : ) $9.
A piece of history gold. I don't even need to read it. I knew what they were up to since Ground Zero Warp Speed Day 1, lol, and because of Dr Breggin. I've been a follower of him for quite some time. He's just on of many of Our "Hippocratic Oath Heros'!"
The Highwire episode WAY BACK when he interviewed Geert Vanden Bosch was the absolute bottom line for me regarding the “vaccines”. Just say no!
Currently, in Canada, there is a National Citizens Inquiry with hearing taking place in cities all across the country. This is a non government sponsored inquiry with testimonies being given by private citizens, scientists, doctors, lawyers and public policy makers and its goal is to record what happened over the last three years with regard to the CoVid 19 pandemic and strategies that were used. All of the hearings are being recorded and are available to view on Rumble.
One of the testimonies was given by a former member of the media who used to be in fairly high positions at the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. His testimony involved showing how the CBC can rightly be called government funded propaganda and gave a well researched description of how many times the CBC actually flat out lied or used various strategies to obfuscate the truth and were derelict in their responsibility to actually report news. I highly recommend viewing this testimony.
https://rumble.com/v2fs7u2-rodney-palmer-full-interview-day-1-toronto-national-citizens-inquiry.html
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Definitely me as well. I'd say I'm also almost completely anti-medical establishment at this point. I've had reasons to doubt before the last 3 years, but COVID was the timber that broke the camel's back.
We have been self treating most common ailments and ignoring medical recommendation tests for 30+ years. Some things like broken bones can't be ignored but many cuts, illnesses, bp, cholesterol, etc are treatable with over the counter available or diet changes. Not easy but better than pills. Learn and help others.
Ditto! Homeopathy and natural remedies for the win,
Especially once you have learned the latest science on cholesterol etc and you learn that the higher the cholesterol, the longer you’ll live, and that cholesterol is an important antioxidant for humans!
There is an inverse relationship between LDL-C levels and the risk of all-cause mortality, and this association is statistically significant.

The cholesterol scam is the second biggest lie sold by the medical establishment (second to COVID jabs). If you haven’t read the book, The Clot Thickens, I highly recommend it.
I second this recommendation. Great book! And to round out any medical skepticism, read the book Dopesick and appreciate the level of evil we are dealing with in Big Pharma.
The Dopesick series with Michael Keaton was also very good.
Years ago my naturopath told me my cholesterol was too low. He said there were links between low cholesterol and alz. Just great. Same with my mom, and she’s 89 and only now beginning to act a little off, but I actually blame the shots for that. Anyway, I try to increase my levels, it doesn’t work!
How has humanity survived for millennia without a pill for every ill? Sheesh.

Was once offered a med by a cardiologist. When I asked a pertinent question about why in relation to what he was “treating” and then said, Thanks but no thanks, his reply was, “That’s what I’d say!” Imagine how many just docilely take the offered med and the doctor says nothing. $$$ anyone? Plus, once he admitted his personal reflection, obvious CYA. Wake up call over 30y ago.

I suspect the wisdom of your body has it all over their “normals”. I suspect your body is producing and incorporating the right amount of dietary cholesterol for your lifelong visit to the planet, however long or short. No offense or fearmongering intended. ‘Cos very few of us know our exit point well ahead of time. Me, heck, could be later today, who knows? Nobody promised me tomorrow and all that. Existential stuff. I know, on the taboo list. That’s me, the heterodox, crossing the line. Two arguments:

Just in case my number’s up in real short order, I’munna carpe deim. 😁

My 1st child and her cousin are days apart in age. When they were infants, I used natural remedies when my child got what was probably RSV while they rushed their little one to the E.R. for no worse symptoms and spent a miserable traumatic night there. I was really struck then by what a different philosophy it was because I was new to natural approaches and I saw how much gentler it was for a baby and how empowering it was for parents.
Don't forget about herbal remedies! Before there were pharmaceuticals, healers used herbs, because they work! My husband's chronic lyme is successfully managed with homemade herbal tinctures. Stephen Buhner's books are a great place to start.
I had a vision a while back, that the herbal medicine market exploded. And now that a lot more people are waking up to the big pharma fraud, I believe it will explode in demand relatively soon. Possibly that is one reason the globalist dictator wanna-be's want so badly, to destroy our environment. So we have no true source of healing.
This is true. That's why they are pushing legislation to get OTC vitamins and supplements banned, available by RX only or at least FDA "regulated". Thank Dick Durbin (D-IL). He's been pushing this for years but now he's getting closer and closer.
Oh superb vision! Love it! Thank you for committing it to text. Now that it’s shared > more minds can give thought and consideration to it > it builds more energy toward the thing > which is ultimately how things manifest. And while we’re at it, let’s think about deaths and injuries from medication error vs from nature-derived remedies. Heck, there’s probably no research on the latter it’s so rare. But don’t quote me. The backlash against efforts to suppress natural healing will put all sorts of its benefits in the spotlight. Yet another flick to the brain of another contingent of the sleeping. Ugh this awakening is so agonizingly slow. Aaaaand I’m off on a tanget. Okie doke, time to get off this lil’ pony. ☺️
I'm not sure if it was you, but I bought both of his books based off of a comment on the substack.
It was probably me. 😉 I always plug his books when I get a chance, they opened up a whole new world for me.
The only problem is I don't get all the medical jargon. Other than that, I like what I've read.
It infuriates me that Lymes Disease should be studied like HIV was, and that so many get sick from it just by being outdoors! If it were woke or sexual there would be some kind of cure by now. I find it much scarier than covid. 🙄
I read this book (Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease & Biological Weapons by Kris Newby) after a family member was diagnosed with lyme & other "co-infections" and it's clearer than ever that we have been blinded by our public "health officials" for a very long time...........
I believe it. It is so sad that kids today cant play carefree in the grass like my generation did...Barefoot, shorts,..carefree summer fun.
Well, any "cure" would be an expensive pHarmaceutical or injectable product.
There are herbs that can treat it effectively. The problems are (1) diagnosis and (2) awareness and knowledge of how to treat naturally and (3) access to practitioners who have this awareness.
It would be nice if they could figure out a way to eradicate this tick population.
That is my plan. I'm planting and learning herbs starting this year.
Richo Cech is a great resource for growing and using herbs for healing. He has written several books and sells seeds and plants. Strictly Medicinal Seeds is his company. It’s out of Oregon.
That's where I've bought a lot of my seeds.
You better believe it! After CONvid, and two necessary surgeries, I’m questioning EVERYTHING! The natural and safe cures have been mostly hidden from all of us! As much as I despise technology, for eye opening information, it can’t be ignored!
The great awakening is an understatement!
I resisted cholesterol and blood pressure meds all my life (75 yrs). My doc for the last 5 years recently asked what cholesterol med I was on. None, I replied. She was amazed my blood work was so good and blood pressure is excellent. Vitamins, exercise and prayer.
I know. At age 60 I went to have a small elective surgery. The staff at the hospital couldn't believe I wasn't on any meds, had no replacements of any kind and was in excellent health. I felt like a unicorn 🦄. Like you have heard of them but never thought you would see one. I left there pretty pleased with myself. 😄
At 62, I am on nothing as well...BUT had to have a hip replacement at 60, genetics and my line of work. Anyway, I’m on a mission to restructure my diet...not the best 🤦🏻♀️ but I’m making it a priority.
I call it divine intervention when I heard two things on the same talk radio show back in the mid 80s.
- - -
Sugar is poison.

It’s expensive to stay healthy. But it’s a hell of a lot more expensive to get sick.

Words to live by. Label reader from that day on. Recommended. If you can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is, do you want it in your body? If after investigation you’re good with the ingredient list, go for it.
- - -
Another “rule”: Don’t go to the grocery store hungry. Damn but even the chemical laden products, formerly known to give some kind of a satisfaction hit to the brain look good then.

Anyway, senior life med free and only natural supplement supported is delightful! Let me offer an ‘Atta girl! on your efforts. You can do it! 💪🖖👍
I have always exercised daily (since I was in my 20s because my father had a major heart attack at 45, eaten at home, cooked whole food meals, eaten tons of fruits and veggies and olive oil, pray daily, keep my weight down because of very high familialhypercholesterolimia)..but sometimes you are damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I now have, at 65, osteoporosis..doctor said thinner women get it more. I think of all the years I avoided too much meat, eggs and too much dairy *because of my high cholesterol*and also keeping thin because ofbmy health, and now paying the price a bit. I am not taking deplorable pharmaceuticals for bone! They have horrible side effects. Have looked into natural help..algae calcium with k and d3 and boron, collagen peptides and believe it or not: prunes! (research it)
I also upped my cheese which I enjoy. Crossing my fingers.
Please don’t label yourself with osteoporosis like I did at your age. Osteoporosis is a WHO-created disorder with definitions and limits literally made up by self-serving special interests. These people all benefited from the new big pharma meds and bone density measurement machines. Doctors, hospitals, advertisers and many others also benefit from the new racket in scaring older women about broken bones. Basically, they’re comparing your bones at age 65 with those of a woman aged 30, finding them deficient, and now you get a scary label and so you’ll want to do anything the doctor has planned for you! Guess what - my skin at age 71 is not as tight as a 30-year-old woman. Should I now be diagnosed with “dermatolosis” or something scary-sounding so I buy their drugs? Back at age 56 I still trusted doctors and “the science”, so I took their drugs and all they did for me is I ended up with psoriasis and my hair falling by the handful, especially with Prolia. I quit all that and instead went out walking, lifted weights, took sun and vitamin D3, never drank sodas, and ate real food, staying away from processed junk. My doctor never recommended any of that! But I’m healthier now and I’ll never take another bone scam - excuse me, I mean bone scan.
Thank you. I rejected dexa scans for 10 years now, but a stress fracture in my foot and a sunbsequent frail feeling in my feet scared me into taking it. Atleast it has woken me up to supplemting properly and eating more calcium and protein. Again, thank you for your post. *hugs*
Great start. Add a good quality yogurt too. Get it from local sources. Farm to table. Support local. I take supplements as well.
https://www.solgar.com/products/calcium-magnesium-plus-zinc-tablets/ and a vitamin D3 and vitamin k as well. Everyone is different based on their needs and diet. 😀
My new calcium is sourced from algae instead of rock and contains d3 and k and boron. Hoping it helps.
I took my son to the dentist last year and one part of the intake form asked if he had been on any “ fosamax” type drugs. These were the rage in the ‘80’s and my mom took fosamax for osteoporosis. At some point they found out that it was necrotizing to jaw bones. It takes years for side effects to come out.
Just read about the 1994 rolling out of the dexascan machine that measures your bone density. It seems everyone’s scan is compared to the scan of a 35 year-old woman. Also that the interior of our bones are supposed to be spongy and not filled in and solid which is what the fosamax type meds do. It fills them in and makes them brittle and that is why the dentist needs to know if you are taking them. Also why some women experience a break in their femurs while just walking. Can’t pull up the site just now. Also I’ve read that Jarlsburg Swiss Cheese is excellent for our bones.
Fosamex and friends (other bone building meds) sound utterly horrible and sinister. Ofcourse my doctor wants me to take them. No way Jose!
Good facebook group: Osteoporosis Natural Remedies. They recommend a different type of test besides the DEXA - it is called REMS Echo Light. Only available in a few areas of the U.S. (and some other countries). Also, you need to use the exact same machine for a re-check as the machines are not always calibrated to one another so the followup scans from a different machine are pretty meaningless.
This is a great recommendation to pursue an Echolight scan. I had my first DEXA scan 1/21 at age 65. It showed slight Osteoporosis & Osteopenia. I am a retired Dental Hygienist, so am very familiar with the “con” side of Fosomax, often asking patients to reconsider and further discuss their Physician’s recommendation to take this RX.
My Physician was telling me, “it would probably be a good idea to start taking Fosomax. I did more research & the DEXA scan only measures bone density, not the strength of the bone.
My Echolight scan (which does not expose you towards any radiation like the DEXA scan does), showed only slight Osteopenia and indicated a vey low risk of hip fracture. It evaluates your bone density & strength. DEXA scans are still the “gold standard” but reconsideration for utilizing the Echolight technology and results are starting to gain acceptance. There are many Rheumatologists who specialize in Arthritis & Osteoporosis using Echolight scans to evaluate bone fragility. I traveled to Braxos, TX to have my Echolight Scan. I believe this is as far West as you are able to schedule a scan.There are Drs in the East who provide this service! Research before jumping!
This article is worth reading (and reassuring) . It may make you feel better.
The Manufacturing of Bone Diseases: The Story of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/the-manufacturing-of-bone-diseases-the-story-of-osteoporosis-and-osteopenia_5151392.html
Thanks. I somewhat suspected this. I stopped taking rock calcium and found algae calcium. I told my cardiologists why, since there had been talk about it being bad for the arteries in the media a few years back. He sarcastically said that if that the case, the media would scream about it.
Cheryl, same here except that my health regimen failed in regard to my knees. I tried everything and finally succumbed to surgery on both. I hated it, but I don’t regret it because I can walk without pain now. At the hospital they treated me like I was some weird anomaly, not on any medication except thyroid. The only thing I’d add to your list of vitamins, exercise and prayer, is diet. The kind of diet recommended by the medical establishment is awful. Their views on red meat and fats in particular. High quality grass fed meat is an important source of so many nutrients, and the same with “good fats”, with sugars being the main culprit.
I love when they say you don't need supplements. You get everything from your diet. Then they write out some prescriptions for meds you need to take. 🤪
Yes, and most of us have figured out the dirty little secret, which is that they don’t make any $$ or kickbacks from the supplements like they do on the meds.
Knee problems seem endemic these days. I know so many people in their 60’s and 70’s who have had to get knee replacements. Some are related to old sports injuries or accidents. But many are not. I wonder why so many are having problems. And is it this way in other countries? I think not.
Could it be the American extremism for exercise? Jogging? It is terrible for the anatomy and for women even more- bad for the pelvic floor.
I lived in Europe. They are not fanatics like us. They walk in their daily routine..everywhere they can, in their regular clothing and shoes. In some countries and cities, men bicycle to work dressed up! I love how adorable that looked! ❤️
I desperately need new knees, but have lymphedema and am concerned. I know a few who have had a really rough go after replacement, but I am so tired of the pain! Getting anywhere near a scalpel is just terrifying as I have had six abdominal surgeries requiring two wound vacs all due to doc errors!
I had to have both knees replaced due to congenital sublux knee caps, one 15 yrs ago, the other 11 yrs ago. Ran 12 miles a day for years. Worked out. Stayed semi-healthy despite the pain. My knees were bone on bone for too long. My first surgeon came to my hospital room after surgery to tell me how stunned he was that I withstood such a pain level... I have zero regrets! I hear so many folks talking about enduring the pain... It is not worth it! I was up and walking 6 hours after both surgeries! Great rehab PT. I was teaching Sunday school at 2 weeks post op, on my feet! No crutches, no walker, no cane. It's amazing!
Good point. Hmm. My guess is diet and activity. I didn't know of any one growing up with knee replacements etc. Not saying they didn't have aches or pains. But those were elderly people 80s on up. Now people in their 50s are getting knees replaced.
I attribute my bad knees to heredity, my mother had terrible arthritis and had to have hers replaced. I’ve maintained a normal weight and eaten way healthier than average for most of my adult life. I always walked for exercise, so no extremes there as the cause.
Ladies please don’t discount sources of calcium, magnesium and vitamin k in raw A2 dairy. You can get raw A2 cow’s milk here in central Florida.
In Polish women, higher dairy consumption during childhood and adolescence predicted better bone health as adults.

Yes too A2 dairy. A1 is like gluten.
Would love to know where I could get raw milk in FL!
https://fullcirclerealfoods.com/
This is an Amish farmer in Live oak Florida that delivers all over central Florida, I believe down to Tampa and Orlando!
In Belleview area near I-75 exit 341 you can find O’Steen’s produce market where they sell local raw A2/A2 cow and raw goat milk too I hope you all can get some! It’s great stuff!
Thank you. I will definitely get in touch with them.
If FL is like my state, raw milk is not "allowed" to be sold to humans. But, you can find it being sold "for pets" - if you get my drift.
What is A2 dairy? I drink raw milk--in Michigan you have to own shares in a dairy cow--but I've never heard anyone refer to it like that.
The typical protein in American dairy is A1. But ancestral dairy cows such as Jersey and Gurnsey produce A2 casein which is better tolerated by most. Goat’s milk, sheep milk, camel milk, even human milk is A2 casein.
But A1 is cheaper to produce and unfortunately what is most widely used in America.
You can get raw milk (for “pet” consumption) in FL.
Thanks for explaining that. I guess I must consume A2 because the raw milk I get is from Jersey and Guernsey cows. And it's delicious!
I've become very..very.. skeptical of the entire Medical Industrial Complex.
It's a huge scam. And the biggest part of it is the pharmaceutical industry.
They've got almost an entire population inured to regular "checkups" (read: profit boosters) so that they can see if there are any more Rx's they can add to your already long list.
Pharma exec's boats don't buy themselves.
FOLLOW THE MONEY! Docs should have to wear patches in their coats of which pharma companies are paying them $$$ to push their drugs.
Just like the race car drivers.
Totally agree. In the movie, “Mystery Men”, the most popular super hero, Captain Amazing, played by Greg Kinnear, got all sorts of endorsements by sponsoring companies and wore patches on his costume advertising the companies. Doctors should be upfront with their sponsors.
"Wellness checks" - come in so we can FIND something wrong with you! 😡
Think of the use of language, too.
- - -
I need someone else to determine whether or not I’m well?

Heterodoxy has me thinkin crazy things. Like, when my number’s up, its up. Time to go. Having family members exit in their infancy, 20s and 50s will do that for ya. It’s a short trip even if you break 100. I mean, if we’re talking about eternity...
I prefer to think of "Wellness checks" this way: "You come to your Pharma Sales Office for no reason whatsover, and WE get a check!"
That keeps our boat payment in the pink, so to speak.
Quite true. What a scam.
The students who went to medical school got straight A's. You don't get straight A's by questioning things; you get straight A's by being good at following directions. When the pharmaceutical industry tries to influence their protocols, the doctors go right along with it.
Most MD's of the last 30+ yrs! Not all, most though. Medical School is now extremely inclusive. Grades and course requirements have been drastically lowered for minority students of most colors. Learning is rarely from books, it's now what's on the internet... (acceptable govt/ big pHARMa information), err... I mean, indoctrination. They don't learn the complexity of the individual body. It's all about the "average" person... Forget lab values for male and female, it's all one and done garbage... If you ain't woke when you start medical school they'll break you down trying. And I say all of this very humbly... two physicians from this home. One age 70. The other age 34. Huge difference. "We were taught the unique individuality of each patient. The younger docs claim they "know so much more..." They couldn't find their way out of a paper sack if their life depended on it! And forget complex medical problems... it's all about rushing through, while missing the elephant in the room. They're all max vaxed and practicing medicine via the govt controlled narrative that requires no brain power, just an ability to do what they're told via their ipads." It's a train wreck barreling down the tracks...
I have to say I agree, and I'm married to a doctor!
I'm right there with you, Natalie, and I'm married to a nurse.
Fortunately, my husband is also disillusioned, though not to the extent that I am. It's hard to think that so much of what you've learned and espoused in your practice of 35 years has been a lie. Nothing but the pandemic and the "vaccine" disaster could have done that.
There is a great book that came out a couple of months ago called, The Deep State Encyclopedia, by "reallygraceful". In it, there is a great explanation of how the medical field became the medical industrial complex through the Rockefeller family. They basically changed the model to a for-profit model and they quickly changed everything, beginning with medical school education. This began in the late 30's. Up until that time, traditional healing therapies such as homeopathy, herbs and non-invasive measures were the norm for doctors. Bottom line: the medical industry doesn't make money on healthy, healed people. It is set up to keep customers ---for life.
Joh Rockefeller’s father was literally a SNAKE OIL SALESMAN! From history.com:
“His father was a con artist and a bigamist.
The tycoon’s father, William Avery Rockefeller, was a traveling snake-oil salesman who posed as a deaf-mute peddler and hawked miracle drugs and herbal remedies. The smooth-talking huckster dubbed “Devil Bill” alternately fathered children—including the future industrialist—with his wife and mistress, the couple’s live-in housekeeper. The itinerant William Rockefeller also lived a double life posing as an eye-and-ear specialist named Dr. William Levingston, and in 1855 he secretly married another woman”
Yes. It’s also an interesting read to learn about the vilification of cannabis - which was used successfully as medicine until 3 money-making perps - Rockefeller, Anslinger, Hearst turned the public away with their lies and a new racist term for it called “marijuana” and the making of the movie “Reefer Madness.” Such a helpful, God-given herb (when used properly) kicked out of the way so that pharma could profit. Most of us are still brainwashed against it now.
Doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals kill hundreds of thousands of people yearly, yet no one bats an eye. You would have to consume 1500 pounds of cannabis in one sitting for it to kill you, and it probably still wouldn’t. The biggest side effects: giggling and a sense of calm.
As a child of the 60s I got a tail end taste of true diagnostician doctors. Those who could try to heal without all our fancy tests. My grandparents doctor who was their age, so he probably studied in the 20s or 30s..no overhead-' his wife was the receptionist and nurse. His office was in his house. I was about 11 and had what seemed to be a bladder infection. He asked if I drank a lot of orange juice. I responded yes, wondering how he knew. He said to stop it and it would go away. Sure enough...
Love Reallygraceful! She makes so many connections that I would never have picked up on. She does great work.
True dat!
And there’s Dr Mercola being so censored and maligned! He was right all along! I do believe there will be many docs who will question the Rockefeller AMA and pharma. I hope those who question go back and learn natural medicine! Frequency and herbs are the future! We are a unique system, not a bunch of specialities!
My best friend is a doctor. He knows the rot. And is fully on board with trying our own herbs and creating our own tinctures.
Bless the ones with critical thinking skills. Thank your friend for me. I know I know, random internet stranger. Still... 🙏
I'll let him know. :)
Lol!
Avoid all msm medical, dental, veterinary and other health services if at all possible. You will live longer and be happier.
Find a biological dentist!
Oh, I have to have my teeth cleaned every six months without fail!
I changed toothpaste from commercial fluoride ones to natural non fluoride. Teeth are so clean and lots less tarter build up. Also natural colloidal mouthwash and "chewing oil" a natural oil mixture, once a week, all helps. Gums. Teeth. Everything is better. 👍
Swishing coconut oil for a few minutes (and spitting it out into the trash after so it doesn’t clog the pipes) has been very helpful for me. It removes stains and has an antibacterial effect so keeps gums healthy.
I am 100% anti western medicine. Unless I break a bone, I'll pass on the lot of it. I didn't believe in it when I was young and the last 3 years have enshrined my mistrust forever.
Totally agree. No western medicine for me either besides vitamins. Just eating right and lots of exercise. And blessings.
With you Laura. Never again. Death is a certainty; what a vax can offer may be much worse.
A case though can be made for short-term death is a lousy long-term outcome 😏
Welllllll, depends on your point of view?
On a scale of eternity, every trip here is short. Some just a hair or two than others.
If your scale is length of a human life, I get it and agree.
I’m of the former persuasion. Just me. Likely full o’ 2¢ worth o’ blarney. But willin’ to admit it. Is that Sgt. Schultz I hear?

Anti-Vaxxer: a person who once trusted the government, and has decided those days are in the rear-view mirror; who once received all "good for you" vaccinations, however now wouldn't roll up a sleeve unless at gunpoint.
Not even at gunpoint. But your point is taken.
lol, I hesitated over adding that !
And I am not sure that even gunpoint would do it, based on what I have read about those suffering adverse effects (and have had a few myself over the decades). I am pretty sure where I am headed once my life is ended. I am not sure where my life would be headed if I accepted any vax. Turtles book arrived last week; eye-opening.
Another equally good book that is incredibly eye-opening is "Dissolving Illusions". https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1480216895
We need a fully alternative medical system. I've been looking for some people who would start this up so as to get involved and help pay/support such efforts.
Functional medicine is the only way I'll go. Still have to be careful since not all functional doctors are equal but the good news is there are some really great ones out there and I've noticed lately they are becoming more & more popular.
Our son in law went to the ER here in N. GA with a-fib last weekend. He had to go under anesthesia for a cardioversion to stop the arrhythmia. His wife asked the anesthetist if there was a blood bank for unvaxed blood as they are not vaxed. His reply was no, but one is def needed. I think the med system knows very well what is going on but they are hog tied to speak up. His procedure went well btw.
frontline doctors, myfreedoctor.com , dissidentdoctors.com . There is a growing number of networks that operate in a similar manner as health shares (usually Christian-based, insurance-like organizations). They are membership based, and you pay according to the level of care that you would like to receive. They function on more of a wellness model as opposed to a sick care model.
We need to rally together to support these efforts on a local community level.
I've been a member of the Christian Healthcare Sharing Ministry. They send out a news letter. There has never been one single peep about the V in any of the newsletters.
We used myfreedoctors.com 3x with covid and they were great.Sent the taboo rx's to a local compound pharmacy and we were better in a few days. Totally voluntary fees, you pay what you can. In our case it was all done online with symptoms we gave. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.
Looking into this for several months, yesterday I made an appt with a functional (integrative? which buzz word?) doctor in my area. 1st appt would run 90 min for $650. After that, 1 hr is $250, half hour $150, 15 min $100. I thought, well, I could try it. Phone person said masks required. She took my credit card to retain the appt after I had made sure that appt was cancellable with full refund. Then sent me an e-mail with link to questionnaire. E-mail specified that masks must be worn at all ALL times in office, must firmly fit over nose, should be N-95, should not have widgetty things on side......I was actually trying to find a practice that did not mask (as my take is, if you think masks do any good, you are not good for my health)--so I called back and told her that after reading the e-mail I realized this was not the direction in which I wanted to go, and cancelled. (Dr. Joseph Carchedi) 3 other holistic/naturopath whatevers in locale offer a free 15 minute first consultation. ????
Assuming your efforts are focused in Florida?
Really anywhere. At the start of the scamdemic, as we were fearing losing our jobs, having our accounts turned off and our Banks frozen... we were looking in an Alternative System using blockchains and crypto for payment systems and with farmers, physicians, and other professionals being organized to serve the 'deplatformed patriot community'. But the Jabs fizzled pretty fast and we got close to normal so quickly that most of this is now a back burner concept. I wish we could get back to setting this 'alternative system' up.
I agree! We absolutely need an alternative system! There was rumor some time ago that some docs in my area (NE Ohio) were looking at creating an alternative hospital at one that closed in Massillon (Doctor's Hospital). Last I heard, they tore it down, although I should take a drive to see for myself. The TPTB can't have such a thing like that going on. Just like tearing down old schools so that charter schools can't move in.
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is near me. She is currently promoting her ECP clinics, but I hope at some point, she might help in this effort.
Check out Dr Shawn Baker and his company REVERO. He’s a former AIrForce Orthopedic Surgeon and a big proponent of the animal meat based diet, which is healing many “incurable” illnesses with red meat.

Thank you! I've printed this out to give to my husband. I see that Dr. Aseem Malhotra is one of the authors. His PCP keeps bugging him about going back on a statin (I was successful in getting him to go off of them). On another note, he asked his PCP if they were pushing boosters. He said, "no, we are no longer doing that, but that's another conversation". They DID NOT have that other conversation. :(
My husband 'was put' on statins long ago--15?20? years. I checked for info, got him not to take them.
Have to confess that the practice we go to now (had to change from our previous, where we'd been for 42 years) bc going on medicare---in 3 or 4 visits I have made over 20 months (and seeing only PA's, never a 'doctor') always asked if I had taken vax but never suggested it. Yet their sign on door required masks 'as required by law' (don't think Pa had such a law).
I don't think there was an actual law in any state.
Thank you for this link.
I’m in Florida and I’m looking for a naturopath or integrative doctor for my daughter. Her health has slowly declined for the last 5 years to the point that she cannot walk without a walker. She’s 28! She’s seen more than 10 doctors in the last few years and they run tests and say she’s fine. If anyone knows of some alternative medical care I would greatly appreciate it!
I am in the Florida Panhandle and I work with a fantastic functional doctor. Dr Melanie Joy. She's all virtual. She might have a waiting list but she's worth it. Hope that helps you.
Thank you!
Where about in FL? You should follow, "The Natural Health Library" on FB. https://www.facebook.com/groups/612308275622725 They also have a separate website under the same name and have been a great resource for natural rememdies.
Thank you!
I had a lot of pressure back in the early 2000's to vax my firstborn, I held strong to not vax through that child and my others. Hubby was initially onboard only until they hit 3 y.o., but I kept providing more and more evidence that he agreed with me. We're almost anti-medication these days. Only take what is absolutely needed, otherwise we don't want it. That stuff messes with your body to where you need a drug for the side effects from the first one, then another to combat the side effects which gives you more side effects, so on and so forth. It's a money pit.
I applaud you and your husband 👏 👏👏
Laura,
I thought you, and others, might appreciate my vaccine-related presentation from 2018, titled “Why Is This Legal?”:

https://www.ageofautism.com/exclusives.html
You are a warrior Laura. God bless you. If only parents would educate themselves on this vital topic. Sadly, they spend more time decorating their baby's nursery.
Thank you, Laura :)
I agree with what you wrote, and addressed that in this article of mine, titled “Here Is What I Don’t Understand”:
https://www.ageofautism.com/2019/09/here-is-what-i-dont-understand.html
It's confounding, isn't it. I think one of the biggest issues is that parents implicitly trust their pediatricians who are all indoctrinated and motivated by money. That trust could prove fatal.
From personal experience (13 years ago)... vaccine skepticism wasn’t as accepted or available until social media and the internet allowed access to more information. We’ve seen censorship in recent years, but my child’s declining health post vaccine paired with access to data proving vaccines were harmful was what eventually convinced me that the vaccines were harmful. When I started researching vaccine approvals and how many were added to the schedule in recent years, I was very vaccine hesitant. I started giving this information to my doctor (who had a chronically ill child himself) and he rejected any discussion out of hand. The knee-jerk refusal for any opposing idea was a red flag, but I thought that maybe he was just busy. But then he’d dive into a discussion on why all vaccines are safe - because he’s never seen an adverse reaction and we’ve been using vaccines for decades. I was shocked that this was his best argument. But, of course, this was after we already had several doses of vaccines administered and it’s simply not something new parents are prepared for. I personally think it’s preying on vulnerable mothers to blindside them during this groggy, hormone adjusting, life-changing time. There is more information out there now and I hope young parents review the pro’s and con’s of vaccines. But I think reaching new parents before the hospital delivery is really important. Otherwise, they won’t have informed consent as most offices administrator the shots and then hand you the info sheet after and deny, deny, deny any adverse event. Maybe a bill on informed consent for new mothers.
I've been a vaccine skeptic since about 1985, when a friend's beautiful, normal, vibrant baby was turned into a near vegetable by a DPT shot. That baby is nearly 40, unable to feed herself or talk, unable to walk, needing 24/7 care. A wasted life for sure. Her parents got a settlement from a big class action lawsuit in the late 1980's, the vax makers claimed it was due to bad batches.
I never had any inkling that I ought to ask what was in the childhood vackzines. None whatsoever. And when the subject ever arose, I naively accepted the explanations that the amount of x, y, or z that was in them was less than what is naturally ingested, etc. Never considered that the vackzines were delivering the substance by an unnatural route, or at cumulatively higher amounts than is naturally ingested. I was so naive.
Parents, in fact all of us, have been so trained over the last hundred years to trust the doctors and to question our own selves, our capacity for healing ourselves, for figuring out what is wrong with ourselves, and so on. THIS is the problem, and not only with health but also with education, with the environment, with government.
One of my 9th grade students remarked (how that matter ever came up I do not remember) that of course parents need to know sex of baby before birth--else how can they decorate the nursery?
I liked when it was a surprise and the nursery was gender neutral.
If you were fortunate enough to have 'a nursery' to decorate at all. It is still a surprise if you choose to have it so.
One cannot make shit like this up.
For sure. But think what that in-class comment said about his parents' attitudes. I do not think that 9th grade (maybe it was 8th grade, had to be one or the other) devote any time to thinking about this topic.
Parents don't know to be skeptical. Most of us were vackzed as kids without repercussions, at least that we know of. Pediatricians go into peds because they care about kids; the vast majority of them are oblivious about the harms of what they are doing - I mean, the ones who are younger than 40-50 don't likely remember a childhood when "quirky" kids were NOT common in school. Autoimmune, autism, sensory disintegration, learning problems are so normalized that it is the rare pediatrician who pauses to wonder why the explosion over the last generation. Plus, everyone wants to blame the environment and BPA and TV and the like. While those do play important roles, the focus on them allows everyone to continue overlooking the mandated toxins of childhood vackzines.
Parents simply don't know what they don't know. I sure didn't.
A week ago Dr Jen was on that mid-day show that was created during covid, and reported about pregnant people who had covid while pregnant and the babies were born with brain damage. One died. She made a point to say clearly ‘we don’t know the vax status’ BUT that every pregnant person should get the jab, for sure, get the jab.
(Disclaimer, I can’t remember if she said person or woman) but so what, she got her dangerous message on the air once again. 🤬 These people are stupid and evil.
Evil is the only way to explain it. These people are brainwashed by satan.
I agree
Definitely more evil than stupid.
Full on "Refusnik" here.
This times a zillion!
My son died from his DPT shot 30 years ago today. I can honestly say I've been an anti-vaxxer for 30 years!
I'm heart-sick about all the people maimed and killed over the last three years from this poison the government forced people to put into their bodies. If there's any silver lining though, it's that the numerous issues with vaccines, VAERS and the Vaccine Injury Act have forced themselves to the fore. Maybe something good can come from all this evil.
"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all!
GG - I’m so very sorry for your profound loss.
And yes. I truly believe as well that something good can come from all this evil.
Never been an “anti-vaxxer” my entire life. I am now. My trust has been completely annihilated!
JSG - exact same for me.
Internist YESTERDAY once again pushed the jab. He agreed it was obsolete buuut studies show it is "effective". So ignorant, incompetent, malevolent or on the take?
I would've asked "Effective at what?" Doesn't stop you from getting covid, transmitting covid, doesn't lessen symptoms and does not prevent death. In fact, you're more likely to get covid after being jabbed and or dying/being maimed for life. The data is clear!
So very hard to tell.
I now trust nothing from the medical establishment/Big Pharma and nothing from any government (national, state, local). Quite literally nothing. I have become, over the past 3+ years, anti-many things, including (surprisingly to me) vaxxes.
I have also become in some ways pro-RFK Jr, which a decade ago would've made my to-the-Right-of-Attila the Hun head explode.
Can’t decide between these two beautiful passages, so here are both:
“Behold, the storm of the Lord has gone forth in wrath,
Even a whirling tempest;
It will swirl down on the head of the wicked.
The anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart;
In the last days you will clearly understand it.”
— Jeremiah 23:19-20
“My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You;
And my soul, which You have redeemed.
My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.”
— Psalm 71:23-24
(NASB1995)
I found myself waking up this morning with psalm 68 on my lips.."May God arise, may his enemies be scattered"! It's another Psalm of victory and great joy for Gods people. Thanks so much for the reminder of Jeremiah and Psalm 17
I can’t read those words without singing in my head the old worship song!
one of my very favorites Janice❤️🙏🏻
Thank you, Janice! Always the best way to start the day!
Janice - have you seen the movie Nefarious yet? If not, please do - you'll love it. I've already watched it twice and am considering inviting my entire parish to go see it with me again.
Powerful reminder of who is behind the violence and insanity of this world.
I have tickets for tonight with my adult daughter. I hope everyone supports this effort and goes to see the movie so we can get more, “good” faith-based movies made/produced.
I haven’t but hope to asap. Maybe tomorrow!
When in doubt, 2 passages of the Lord's wisdom. 🙏❤️
It’s not like we can read too much of it. 🙌🏻
It’s Wednesday. Go outside and get some vitamin D, turn OFF the news, and appreciate everything you have in your life💜. All the bad news will be there tomorrow.
Sound advice given it comes on the heels of obligatory daily dose of C&C news 😁
Amen, Sister!
Eat well, be good to the ones you love, and get outside! Anyone know where that’s from? *(Thank you Christy, Agreed!)
The only thing I want to see from the FDA and CDC is this announcement: Due to our everlasting fraud and corruption, we have been forced to re-access our value to the public and have determined our existence is no longer valuable to anyone. Therefore as of midnight tonight, we are closing forever. Thank you for all your decades of believing in our fraud and propaganda.
Nice thought. See any flying pigs around?
lol. Yep ..... was a trans pig, in Drag. Beee-U-tiful !
I love it!!!!🙌
Public schools are evil; they cannot be reformed. In the US, public education caught on as a way to eliminate Catholicism; public schools will always & everywhere be about suppressing dissent because that's why they were created - not to educate, but too indoctrinate. Abolish public ed through school choice. Look, if you give your kids to Caesar, don't be surprised when they come back to you as Romans. You can't put them in public schools for 40 hours a week & think your parenting is going to reverse what happened there. If you want dissent, if you want liberty, you must abolish public education. (If parents want to choose it, then so be it - I'm all for freedom, but let them have a choice.)
As a former homeschool parent (who fell into homeschooling accidentally) I agree 100%. You can’t even trust private schools for the most part.
Agreed. Our private school has changed in the last 20 years our kids have been there. Our last is graduating next month and we are not sad to be done.
Yep, they're like the churches. The woke disease is taking over all our institutions.
You'd have figured the churches would have pushed back on the 'jab of the beast'.
But they were more than compliant with BigGuv and JunkScience.
Yep, there was no pushback whatsoever. Our private school is connected to a church. Woke has seeped into the church and into the school. They don’t speak up on much at all. There has been at least one child from each of our children’s grades who have “transitioned” after graduating. This shouldn’t be happening. But if the church and the school don’t speak up, society will.
Recently heard someone in my parish explain that the churches HAD to go along because they accepted PPP money. Had to pay the piper 😒 Gives “follow the money” a whole new (and sickening) meaning.
My church did not accept PPP money, however still went along 😢
☹️ they were just consumed with fear, stoked by the government and the media (but I repeat myself). Sadly, they completely missed Jesus’s exhortation to “be not afraid.”
If the church is a 501c3, they CAN NOT speak against the government narrative! Can't speak against abortion, homosexuality, trans, talk politics, etc. Losing their parishioners tax-exempt status and fines of $10k, even against church board members.
Thank LBJ for that!
I can attest that private schools have gotten at least as bad. This all originated at Georgetown Prep when Justice Ketanji Brown was on the board! Boom.
Back in the 90's when our three youngest girls were in private school their "anthem" was, "God Bless the USA." They started the day reciting the Pledge and singing the National Anthem. They do neither now. No school "anthem" either. The music program between Thanksgiving and Christmas was devoid of any holiday songs. Just sad. Just really sad to see.
There are no accidents. ♥️
Agreed. The private school we started at, held a CRT event during CHAPEL in 2021, had the black kids in school go on stage and tell their story. IDK, I thought chapel was a time to worship and learn about the Bible, not pander to select groups. Fortunately, my kids weren't there when that happened, we had moved to homeschool by then.
My 12 year old nephew told me that at the beginning of his public, sixth grade, students had to write their preferred pronouns in every class. He tried to leave it blank because he felt it should be obvious. The teacher told him that it is required and not a suggestion. I cannot seem to convince his parents to get him out of there.
I homeschool my fourth grade daughter and grateful for the opportunity to help her grow academically and in her faith, love for Christ.
Public schools are teaching kids about how to follow the spirit of the anti-Christ. Every Christian should pray and rescue their kids out of that cult ASAP. It’s not an easy option but anything we do that is worthwhile is difficult!
